this might sound weird, but do you have problems touching people you're not interested in? I know with my friends I tend to be very physical but i definitly get awkward when it's someone i'm attracted to. my b est advice in that case is to work up to it slowly, make a point to sit next to her just a little too close, or hold hands sometime. I mean it's hard to say for sure what makes you feel the way you do but your past is a big part of it, you need to remind yourself that now this is a choice you're making not something you're beng forced to do, and that it doesnt have to be a big deal right away, you can start being vaguely physical without being too agressive.
